installation Location requirements

w wArNINg

Read all installation instructions completely before installing and operating your dryer! It is important that you review this entire manual before installing and using your dryer. Detailed instructions concerning electrical connections, gas connections, and exhaust requirements are provided on the following pages.

• A location that allows for proper exhaust installation.

A gas dryer must be exhausted to the outdoors. See

Venting the dryer .

• A grounded electrical outlet located within 2 ft.

(61 cm) of either side of the dryer. See Connecting

Electric Dryers.

• A sturdy floor to support the total dryer weight of 200 lbs (90.7 kg). The combined weight of a companion appliance should also be considered.

• No other fuel-burning appliance can be installed in the same closet as a dryer.

Do not operate your dryer at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). At lower temperatures, the dryer might not shut off at the end of an automatic cycle. This can result in longer drying times. The dryer must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Check code requirements. Some codes limit, or do not permit, installation of the dryer in garages, closets, mobile homes or sleeping quarters. Contact your local building inspector.

NOTE

• Floor must be level, with a maximum slope of 1 inch (2.5 cm) under entire dryer. Clothes may not tumble properly, and automatic sensor cycles may not operate correctly if dryer is not level.

• For a garage installation, you will need to place the dryer at least 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor. If using a pedestal, you will need 18 inches (46 cm) to the bottom of the dryer.

• gas dryers mUST exhaust to the outdoors.


• Use only 4-inch (10.2 cm) rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal ductwork inside the dryer cabinet and for venting outside. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• To reduce the risk of fire, combustion, or accumulation of combustible gases, DO NOT exhaust dryer air into an enclosed and unventilated area, such as an attic, wall, ceiling, crawl space, chimney, gas vent, or concealed space of a building.


• To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT exhaust the dryer with plastic or thin foil ducting.


• The exhaust duct must be 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter with no obstructions. The exhaust duct should be kept as short as possible. make sure to clean any old ducts before installing your new dryer.


• Rigid or semirigid metal ducting is recommended for use between the dryer and the wall. In special installations when it is impossible to make a connection with the above recommendations, a

UL-listed flexible metal transition duct may be used between the dryer and wall connection only. The use of this ducting will affect drying time.


• DO NOT use sheet metal screws or other fasteners which extend into the duct that could catch lint and reduce the efficiency of the exhaust system. Secure all joints with duct tape.


• To maximize operating results, please observe the duct length limitations noted in the chart on the next page.


• Ductwork is not provided with the dryer. You should obtain the necessary ductwork locally. The end cap should have hinged dampers to prevent backdraft when the dryer is not in use. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire or death.

• The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 8 ft. (2.4 m)

• In Canada, only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer shall be used. In the

• gas supply requirements:

As shipped from the factory, this dryer is configured for use with natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP (Liquefied Propane) gas. gas pressure must not exceed 13 inches of water column.

• A qualified service or gas company technician must connect the dryer to the gas service. Failure to follow this warning can result in fire, explosion, or death.

• Isolate the dryer from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply.

Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

• Supply line requirements:

Your laundry room must have a rigid gas supply line to your dryer. In the United States, an individual manual shutoff valve mUST be installed within at least 6 ft. (1.8 m) of the dryer, in accordance with the National Fuel gas Code

ANSI Z223.1 or Canadian gas installation code CSA

B149.1. A 1 ⁄₈ - inch NPT pipe plug must be installed.


• If using a rigid pipe, the rigid pipe should be ½

- inch IPS. If acceptable under local codes and ordinances and when acceptable to your gas supplier, 3 ⁄₈ - inch approved tubing may be used where lengths are less than 20 ft. (6.1 m). Larger tubing should be used for lengths in excess of 20 ft.

(6.1 m).


• Connect the dryer to the type of gas shown on the nameplate. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

• To prevent contamination of the gas valve, purge the gas supply of air and sediment before connecting the gas supply to the dryer. Before tightening the connection between the gas supply and the dryer, purge remaining air until the odor of gas is detected.

Any installation in a manufactured or mobile home must comply with the Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 or Standard

CAN/CSA Z240 MH and local codes and ordinances. If you are uncertain whether your proposed installation will comply with these standards, please contact a service and installation professional for assistance.

• A gas dryer must be permanently attached to the floor.

• The electrical connection for an electric dryer must be a 4-wire connection. More detailed information concerning the electrical connection is provided in the section Connecting Electric Dryers.

• To reduce the risk of combustion and fire, the dryer must be vented to the outside.

• DO NOT vent the dryer under a manufactured home or mobile home.

• Electric dryers may be vented to the outside using the back, left, right, or bottom panel.

• Gas dryers may be vented to the outside using the back, left, or bottom panel. Gas dryers may not be vented to the outside using the right side panel because of the burner housing.

• The dryer exhaust duct must be affixed securely to the manufactured or mobile home structure, and the exhaust duct must be made of a material that will resist fire and combustion.

It is recommended that you use a rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible metal duct.

• DO NOT connect the dryer exhaust duct to any other duct, vent, chimney, or other exhaust duct.

• Make sure the dryer has adequate access to outside fresh air to ensure proper operation. The opening for outside fresh air must be at least 25 in 2 (163 cm 2 ).

• It is important that the clearance of the duct from any combustible construction be at least 2 inches (5 cm), and when venting the dryer to the outdoors, the dryer can be installed with a clearance of 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and back of the dryer.

• Please be aware that venting materials are not supplied with the dryer. You should obtain the venting materials necessary for proper installation.

Final installation Check

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer and it is in its final location, confirm proper operation with the following tests and the Installation Test (Duct

Check) on the following page.

testing dryer Heating gAS mODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting.

When the dryer starts, the igniter should ignite the main burner.

NOTE

If all air is not purged from the gas line, the gas igniter may turn off before the main burner ignites. If this happens, the igniter will reattempt gas ignition after approximately two minutes.

ELECTRIC mODELS

Close the dryer door, press the ON/OFF button to turn the dryer on, and start the dryer on a heat setting. The exhaust air should be warm after the dryer has been operating for 3 minutes.

checking airflow

Effective dryer operation requires proper airflow.

The adequacy of the airflow can be measured by evaluating the static pressure. Static pressure in the exhaust duct can be measured with a manometer, placed on the exhaust duct approximately 2 ft. (60.9 cm) from the dryer.

Static pressure in the exhaust duct should not exceed 0.6 inches (1.5 cm). The dryer should be checked while the dryer is running with no load.

checking levelness

Once the dryer is in its final location, recheck the dryer to be sure it is level. Make sure it is level from front to back and side to side, and that all four leveling feet are firmly on the floor.

installation Test (Duct Check)

Once you have completed the installation of the dryer, use this test to make sure the condition of the exhaust system is adequate for proper operation of the dryer.

This test should be performed to alert you to any serious problems in the exhaust system of your home.

• Your dryer features FLOW SENSE TM , an innovative sensing system that automatically detects blockages and restrictions in dryer ductwork. Keeping ductwork clean of lint buildup and free of restrictions allows clothes to dry faster and reduces energy use.

NOTE

The dryer should be cool before starting this test. If the dryer was warmed up during installation, run the

AIR DRY cycle for a few minutes to reduce the interior temperature.

To activate the Installation test:

1. Remove the drying literature, and then close the door.

Do not load anything in the drum for this test, as it may affect the accuracy of the results.

4. Check the display for results.

During the test cycle, monitor the FLOW SENSE TM display on the control panel. If no bars are displayed, when the cycle ends, the exhaust system is adequate. If the exhaust system is severely restricted, the display will show four bars.

Other problems may also be shown with error codes.

Refer to the next page for error code details and solutions.

NO BARS:

OK

FOUR BARS:

RESTRICTED

Four bars indicates that the exhaust system is severely restricted. Have the system checked immediately, as performance will be poor.

• Check the duct condition

If the FLOW SENSE TM LED is turned on, check the exhaust system for restrictions and damage. Repair or replace the exhaust system as needed.

Restricted or Blocked Airflow

Avoid long runs or runs with multiple elbows or bends.

NOTE

When the dryer is first installed, this test should be performed to alert you to any existing problems with the exhaust duct in your home. However, since the test performed during normal operation provides more accurate information on the condition of the exhaust duct than does the installation test, the number of bars displayed during the two tests may not be the same.

Do not interrupt the test cycle, as this could result in inaccurate results.

Even if no bars are displayed during the test cycle, some restrictions may still be present in the exhaust system. Refer to the Venting the Dryer section of this manual for complete exhaust system and venting requirements.
